This is what a lot of religious PPL believe about Atheists, they cannot understand why atheists don't go about whoring and being immoral to the max. They are only talking about their own nature when they say that, it is only their religion that stops them being animals. Atheists have an inbuilt moral framework, Christians (and others) need a moral framework to combat their pervy venal nature. Selah.

A religion, like Islam, will never be disappeared.
Only a few people may become amoral.

No way I would still be me, anyway why start to be amoral when I am in my dotage,
and nearer to the next world than this one.
And yet one never knows I might find myself a toyboy, the only thing is my husband might not be too pleased.

Mine disappeared years ago, but I'm not amoral.

What do you mean if my religion disappeared tomorrow? It is not a physical object. My faith will not disappear. I am not a sheep, I follow my own belief system. How can my own beliefs 'disappear'??
Are you under the impression that following a religion is like following a football team??
How strange.

Of course not. Our behavior is determined by a number of factors, including the people we choose to associate with. Religion is only one of those factors.

People have believed my religion "dead" for years.... Like Persephone it has returned from the Underworld though....
Does my religion make me moral? No, as I was moral even BEFORE I worshipped the way I do now.....

If my 'religion' dissappeared tomorrow I would still have my faith.
However, to answer your question, there are plenty of non-religous people who are moral by the world's standards. I would not insult them by presuming that they cannot have morals because they have no religion, which your question does by default.

personally dont follow an orthodox faith, but i think if the world was free of organised religion tomorrow so we are all free to believe what we want...it would be a much better place...and maybe a few less wars?!
